Yes, we affirm and support all couples, regardless of identity, orientation, or structure. We are committed to creating an inclusive and affirming space.

It’s common for teens to feel hesitant at first. Our therapists are skilled at building trust and creating a space that feels welcoming, not intimidating. We work at a pace that respects the teen’s comfort level, using approaches that engage them without pressure.

One strategy we often suggest is encouraging your teen to view therapy as a trial period. After a few sessions, you and your teen can discuss together whether it feels like a good fit. This approach gives them a sense of control and allows them to experience therapy without feeling forced.

If possible, allowing your teen to be involved in the therapist selection process can be helpful. Your teen may feel more comfortable seeing a therapist of a specific age, gender, or specialization. Although not necessary, sometimes finding a therapist with similar hobbies or interest can create a common base for the therapeutic relationship to build off of for reluctant teens.
